The Woolly Mammoth 'could be reborn in four years'

• should be '..news written tomorrow..'

I wanna meepin' ride one to work.

not really sure if the world is ready for this

It's a fuzzy elephant.
There's no way anything unforeseen, like....Oh, let's say it's genetic makeup including the blueprints for spontaneous viral production in it's appendix, rendering it's feces a source of human-infectious zombie-virus that'll lay waste to all of humanity ...would happen.
It should be perfectly safe.

i think i have seen this movie already

I pledge my eternal allegance to our future dinosaur overlords.

Think of all the starving hindus in India. This could be a game changer.

i want to reintroduce the sabertooth tiger to help control the human population

Just break out the last vial of smallpox. I know they got some somewhere...

I always thought about how different car design & architecture would be if we still had large, carnivorous dinos running about. No more picture windows or glass doors...a Pterodon might snap your meep up like a bug. Forget about that 2nd meep sports coupe convertable...stop at a light, and something on two legs will come up like a big chicken and have lunch. Have had many a dream like that.

Interesting. But what the meep do they want to clone a wooly mammoth for?

@anothermonkeyenslaved

I'm hoping it's for the categories I submitted this link under: food, violence, science.

If one was in a zoo near you, would you go see it?

There is money to be made... I bet the Ringling Bros want one too.

@anothermonkeyenslaved
Because 1, they could, and 2,Modern man hasn't had a chance to stalk and meeping eat one.

The thing that strikes me about this is that not only are we possibly able to resurrect a centuries extinct animal, we may be able to further species on our current endangered list. Also (as Spank pointed out), the ability to possibly own, saddle and ride one of these beasts would undoubtedly open Valhalla to more mere mortals and change parking rules in favor of pure badasses FOREVER.

Well, i suppose a family could feed on it for a week.... if they all ate meat. I don't think i'd try mammoth even if i ate meat myself... sounds like it would tast bad. @bobacus

Mammoth has been thawed and eaten in modern times. Not new. Reported to taste like venison, but a bit more fatty.

Hahaha.
